I was going to try and send you a picture of my Pink Floyd blanket, but the file's too large. Oh well, point is, I've got a Pink Floyd Blanket.

But while I'm here, I might as well name another. Fading West by Switchfoot is one of my favorites.

I have to go with Pink Floyd also, except my favorite is "Wish You Were Here".

Interesting story about the album - While they were recording the song "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" (a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founding members of Pink Floyd, who had to leave the band because of his drug use), Syd Barrett wandered into the studio, and no one initially recognized him. He has shaved his head and gained considerable weight. After a bit of emotional reunion, he just left without saying goodbye to anyone, and none of the band saw him again until his death in 2006.

Roger Waters later had this to say about Barrett: "Of course he was important and the band would never have started without him because he was writing all the material. It couldn't have happened without him but on the other hand it couldn't have gone on with him."

I really like that album also ("Obscured by Clouds"). It's in my top 5 of Pink Floyd albums. It was after "The Wall" that I started losing interest in them. "The Final Cut" was still good, but not as good as other albums they had released. And then Waters left, and to me, that was the end.

I feel like the only one who didn't particularly enjoy "The Wall" as an album. In a weird way, I felt like the individual songs were better than the album as a whole.
